Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for the production of N-acyl amino acid amide.
  • the N-acyl amino acid amide is employed for use application, such as an anti-oxidant, an additive agent for cosmetic preparations, an antistatic additive and an antimicrobial agent as an oil soluble nonionic surface active agent which is low toxic, low skin irritate and excellent in biodegradability.
  • an organic medium liquid at room temperature in particular an inflammable organic medium, such as natural type of and synthetic type of mineral oils and animal and vegetable oils, and a nonflammable organic phosphorus compound and organochlorine based compound to the gel form, the agar gel form or the block form (Refer to Japanese Patent Kokoku Publications JP-B-51-42079, JP-B-53-13434 and JP-B-53-27776.), and therefore its industrial utility value in the gelatinizing agent for oils is noticed and watched.
  • an inflammable organic medium such as natural type of and synthetic type of mineral oils and animal and vegetable oils
  • a nonflammable organic phosphorus compound and organochlorine based compound to the gel form, the agar gel form or the block form
  • N-acyl amino acid amide As the process for the production of N-acyl amino acid amide, the process for converting the carboxyl group in the N-acyl amino acid into an active group of high reactivity, such as that in an ester, an acid halide and an acid anhydride, and then reacting the thus obtained derivative thereof with an amine, the process for heating an N-acyl amino acid with an amine under dehydration to form an amide directly, and the like are known.
  • the suitable derivative can be selected by considering the reactivity of the N-acyl amino acid used as the starting material and the stability of the derivative obtained, and further in order to produce an objective N-acyl amino acid amide, it is essential to obtain the activated carboxylic acid derivative of the reaction intermediate at a high yield.
  • N-acyl amino acid ester can be produced in the condensation reaction under dehydration between an N-acyl amino acid and an alcohol, and however in order to obtain the N-acyl amino acid ester at a high yield, it is necessary to shift the equilibrium in the reaction by using the alcohol in a much excessive amount thereto, removing the water produced in the reaction, or the like, because the reaction is a typical equilibrium reaction.
  • the process for obtaining N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid dimethyl ester quantitatively in the reaction of N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst using trimethyl orthoformate as the dehydrating agent is disclosed (Refer to Japanese Patent Kokai Publication JP-A-9-221461.), and further the process for producing N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid di-n-butyl amide in the reaction of N-lauroyl-L-glutamic acid dimethyl ester with n-butylamine through an ester-amide exchange reaction is disclosed ( Refer to Japanese Patent Kokai Publication JP-A-10-001463.).
  • the process for obtaining N-acyl amino acid amide by heating directly N-acyl amino acid having acyl group(s) in the carbon number of 1 to 22 with an alkylamine in the carbon number of 8 or more, or the like to react them is known (Refer to Japanese Patent Kokoku Publication JP-B-52-18691.), and however, the process is difficult to be applied to the case where the alkylamine is one in the carbon number of 7 or less or an ammonia.
  • such known process corresponds to the process for obtaining an objective N-acyl amino acid amide which comprises mixing a N-acyl amino acid with an amine in the carbon number of 8 or more, and heating them directly at the temperature of 160 to 200 °C or heating them under reflux to remove water (dehydration) in the presence of an inactive solvent, such as xylene, and however the process has the following weak points (shortcomings).
  • the process is applied to the alkyl amine in the carbon number of 7 or less, or the like, the amine evaporates under the condition of direct heating at the temperature of 160 to 200 °C or under the condition of heating in the presence of xylene or the like, because the boiling point of the amine is low, and therefore, the reaction yield is lowered.
  • an amino acid residue in the N-acyl amino acid is one in the acidic amino acid and it has plural (two or more) carboxyl groups
  • the tendencies that one carboxyl group is easy to react, and on the other hand the other one is lowered in reactivity are marked.
  • they are reacted necessarily under a wasted (harsh) condition of a high temperature and a long time.
  • the catalyst used in the reaction is soluble in water, and thus in the case where the reaction is carried out without a medium or in the hydrocarbon compound which is a medium for hylotropic (azeotropic) dehydration or a mixture thereof coexistent, the catalyst is not dissolved completely to give a system of the reaction heterogeneous, and the thus insoluble catalyst is deposited to the wall inside the reactor as scale buildup to account for (cause) bumping or the like.
  • the reaction can not be accelerated and therefore a reaction time can not be shortened, because the insoluble catalyst can not be concerned with the reaction to lower the catalyst efficiency, while the amount of the catalyst added thereto is limited.
  • the present inventors recognized the desirability of developing an improved process for producing N-acyl amino acid amide by the direct reaction of an N-acyl amino acid with a primary amine, a secondary amine or an ammonia. For instance, they sought to address problems arising in the production process, such as the deposition of the catalyst (the scale buildup of the catalyst) and the like, and moreover appreciated the desirability of enhancing the catalyst efficiency so that the reaction may proceed for a short time and at the same time the objective product can be obtained at a good yield.
  • the present inventors have eagerly studied and as a result found that by reacting an N-acyl amino acid with a primary amine, a secondary amine or an ammonia in the presence of a boron compound as the catalyst with an alcohol coexistent as the auxiliary (assistant) solvent, the system of reaction can be made homogeneous, even in the presence of the hydrocarbon compound which is a medium for hylotropic (azeotropic) dehydration or a mixture thereof, or even without the medium for hylotropic dehydration (the hydrocarbon compound or the mixture thereof).
  • the hydrocarbon compound which is a medium for hylotropic (azeotropic) dehydration or a mixture thereof, or even without the medium for hylotropic dehydration (the hydrocarbon compound or the mixture thereof).
  • embodiments of the invention may ameliorate the problems of the production process, for example, the scale buildup of the catalyst on the wall inside the reactor can be suppressed.
  • the catalyst efficiency can be enhanced to accelerate the reaction and the N-acyl amino acid amide may be obtained at a good yield in a short time, as compared with the system of the boron compound as the catalyst alone (without using the auxiliary solvent).
  • the present invention is directed to, in a process for producing an N-acyl amino acid amide comprising a condensation reaction of an N-acyl amino acid with amine and/or ammonia, and preferably a primary amine, a secondary amine or an ammonia under dehydration, an improved process wherein said condensation reaction is conducted (performed) in the presence of a boron compound as catalyst and of an alcohol as an auxiliary solvent.

  • the system of reaction is made homogeneous to improve the reaction efficiency.
  • an amount of the catalyst to be added can be increased to accelerate the reaction remarkably and to shorten the reaction time, as compared with the case using the catalyst of the boron compound alone.
  • the N-acyl amino acid and the amine unstable to heat may not give rise to a secondary reaction such as decomposition, the objective dehydration reaction may proceed, and therefore the objective N-acyl amino acid amide can be obtained at a good yield.
  • an N-acyl amino acid, and an amine or an ammonia are allowed to coexist together, and further a boron compound and the auxiliary solvent are added in small quantities thereto, and then the resulting mixture may be only heated in the presence of the.medium for hylotropic (azeotropic) dehydration, or without the medium for azeotropic dehydration. Accordingly, the operation for reaction is much easier.
  • the auxiliary solvent the other solvent(s), which does not cause harm to the effects obtained in the present invention, may be employed for the present invention, with or without such medium for azeotropic dehydration.
  • the auxiliary solvent is essential, the medium for azeotropic dehydration may be employed or may not be employed, and in addition, the other solvent(s) as described above may be employed or not.
  • 1.0 equivalence or more of the amine can be used per 1 equivalence of the carboxyl group in the N-acyl amino acid without further special limitation may be employed, and naturally, preferably 1.0 to 3.0, more preferably 1.0 to 1.5 equivalence of the amine can be used per 1 equivalence of the carboxyl group in the N-acyl amino acid.
  • the amine may be preferably used in a slightly excessive amount under the economically advantageous range thereof to avoid a long time requirement for completion of the reaction.
  • the amine is any one of a methylamine, an ethylamine or the like and an ammonia may be reacted therewith, because any of these amines or an ammonia is a substance having a very low boiling point, the substance tends to fly off easily from the system of reaction under heating, and therefore it is preferable to increase much the equivalence ratio of the amine or the ammonia per the carboxyl group in the N-acyl amino acid as the starting materials.
  • the amine in the gas state or the ammonia gas it is preferable to fill (compensate) the amine in the gas state or the ammonia gas, little by little under the proceeding of reaction so that the equivalence ratio of such low boiling point of amine or the ammonia per the remaining carboxyl group in the system of reaction may be allowed to be 1.0 or more.
  • An amount for addition of the boron compound used as the catalyst is not limited particularly, and it is preferable to add 0.1 to 10 equivalences of the substance (the boron compound) to 1 equivalence of the carboxyl group in the N-acyl amino acid. That is, in the case where less than 0.1 equivalence of the substance thereto may be added, the effect to accelerate the reaction as the catalyst is not given sufficient, and in the case where more than 10 equivalences thereof thereto may be added, a remarkable effect is not expected because the function or capacity of the catalyst gets nearly to saturation.
  • An amount for addition of the alcohol used as the auxiliary (assistant) solvent is not limited particularly, and it is preferable to add the alcohol in the 0.1 to 10 times by weight as much as the catalyst of boron compound used. That is, for reasons to employ the alcohol in such range, in the case where less than 0.1 time of the alcohol by weight thereto is added, it is not sufficient to make the system of reaction homogeneous, and in the case where more than 10 times of the alcohol by weight thereto is added, it may tend to become easily disadvantageous in the operation for removing the same (alcohol) after the completion of the reaction.
  • the heating temperature in the reaction in the case where no medium (solvent) for azeotropic dehydration may be used, it is generally preferable to employ the temperature for heating of 100 °C or higher to remove the water produced in the reaction, and as the temperature for heating grows higher, while the reaction may be accelerated, it is particularly preferable to employ the temperature of 110 to 150 °C to suppress the secondary reactions. Further, in the case where the optically active N-acyl amino acid amide is obtained, it is most preferable to employ the temperature of 110 to 125 °C to suppress the racemization.
  • the reaction without placing the medium for azeotropic dehydration is preferable in the case where an amine in the carbon number of 8 or more may be employed, and in the case where an amine in the carbon number of less than 8 or ammonia may be used, it is necessary to exercise ingenuity for the device or the like, because an operability of stirring and the like may tend to be easily lowered.
  • the process for carrying out a heating reaction under the coexistence of a medium for azeotropic dehydration since the water produced in the reaction may be easily removed out of the system of reaction through azeotropic distillation, is suitable also even in the case where an amine in the carbon number of less than 8 as the starting material may be employed.
  • a medium for azeotropic dehydration any one which does not react with the N-acyl amino acid, or the amine or ammonia as the starting material can be selected without further special limitations.
  • a hydrocarbon compound is most preferable, because the washing with water, or an acid or alkaline aqueous solution using preparation of the phases separated after completion of the reaction, can be easily effected.
